Tree Removal Due To Storm Damage

We recommend that you contact a professional tree surgeon to help you with any fallen trees or trees damaged from storms or lightening. Because of the many objects and live power lines that may be underneath or around a tree it is dangerous for untrained people to attempt to approach them. The tree surgeons are skilled in clearing out any tree damage.

Dealing With Storm Damaged Trees

Though they’re usually seen as being strong and timeless, trees may end up being defenceless in adverse weather conditions like strong winds and storms. Powerful storms and very high winds have been seen to annihilate trees and rip even the sturdiest & healthiest trees out of the soil, sending them smashing to the earth, or onto power lines, buildings, neighbours’ gardens and vehicles.

How many times after strong winds have you heard of dislodged branches and storm-damaged trees blocking the road or damaging property. Apart from the danger and inconvenience it also can result in costly repair work.

The most difficult option after a storm is not specifically how to deal with the trees that have definitely fallen down, that’s fairly easy. The more difficult decision is if any of the trees left standing can be saved.

Various trees that have been moderately damaged in the storm may pose a potential future threat and may well need to be disassembled and took out to avoid putting property & people in danger in several months or even years ahead.

Other trees can be conserved by being pruned back, with their most damaged sections being ‘severed’ just like how an operating surgeon might amputate a gangrenous leg. Some other will require to get staked with guy wires or supported with other supports until they are able to re-develop the root structure they require to stand on their own.

If a storm has caused trees to land on buildings, our tree contractors can be trusted to get rid of the broken trees quickly, efficiently and safely to allow the building crews easy access to the property to begin repairs on the affected structures and power cables.

Different Kinds Of Storm Damage

All of these sorts of problem results in a varied diagnosis for the trees’ future survival, but forming a diagnosis is a job ideally left to a fully qualified arborist. An unqualified amateur is far more liable to miss a small detail that could differentiate one decision from another, like finding the splinters from a crown twist but overlooking the slight lean which suggests that the roots also failed.

There are generally 6 forms of storm damage which a tree can not generally stand up to:

• Blowovers – this is where the whole tree comes down.
• Stem Failures – this is where the trunk of the tree splits above the soil, leading to the crown to fall or to lean strongly whilst the bottom section stays standing normally.
• Root Failures – is when the root systems of the tree break beneath the soil, leading to the tree leaning or swaying dramatically.
• Limb Failures – is where several branches of the tree fall off.
• Crown Twists – is when the trunk of the tree rotates sufficient to splinter, but stays up. This occurs most commonly on trees with extremely unbalanced crowns. The whole crown ultimately turns into a weather vane in a storm, turning to follow the wind in a way that the trunk can not.
• Lightening Hits – When lightening strikes the tree gets burned and electrocuted, but stays up, for now. Lightening hits have a number of additional effects like opening a large amount of surface area up to pests and vermin and massive water loss, so a lightening-hit tree is typically at a much greater danger to drop even if it made it through the initial storm.
